George Osborne is obviously too busy counting his inheritance to write a response to today’s budget, so has requested that one of his minions send out the following e-mail, asking others to contribute:
As in previous years, the Shadow Chancellor is seeking expert views and analysis of the Budget announcement. We would very much welcome your views both during, and after, the Budget.
In order to feed in your comments, please email them to this address (rohan_silva@hotmail.com) or call or text 07966478586.
These views will be used to help formulate our response to the Budget, and may also be cited by Conservative front bench spokesmen and women. However, if you would prefer your comments not to be disseminated more widely, please let us know when you submit your comments.
Obviously any comments you submit during the Budget announcement will be based only on Brown’s speech; a fuller analysis can usually only take place after reading relevant sections of the Budget report. However, please don’t hesitate to send over any thoughts during the speech itself - they will be
treated very much as a first impression of the Budget, but will be extremely helpful nonetheless.
If you have any questions, or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to receiving your comments on Wednesday.
Kind regards,
Rohan
Rohan Silva
Economic Adviser
Office of the Shadow Chancellor

I personally will be texting my own thoughts on Gordon’s performance such as “GB iz wkd at sumz, mk hm PM!!!!!” and would encourage others to do likewise.

He was on an LSE internship thing - I don’t think he was a card carrying member of the reds…

Oh, and also - he was interning in the office of Nigel Griffiths, not Dr Kumar. Kumar just had a spare pass allocation.

On the subject of interns, I would like to pass on my thanks to Dave Anderson MP, who is currently employing a charming and delectable American intern, whom I had the pleasure of meeting yesterday.
Does anyone else have a favourite intern? Perhaps it could become a regular feature on RM.

Who? Rohan? Yeah, he is I guess. He also used to work for the Treasury, so that’s quite a coup for Osborne.
Pete Murray said this on March 23rd, 2006 at 11:49 pm
I used to know a rohan from treasury, he’s a hottie.
